matlabrc startupAt startup time, MATLAB automatically executes the master M-file
matlabrc.m and, if it exists, startup.m. On multiuser or networked systems, matlabrc.m is reserved for use by the system manager. The file matlabrc.m invokes the file startup.m if it exists on MATLAB's search path.
As an individual user, you can create a startup file in your own MATLAB directory. Use these files to define physical constants, engineering conversion factors, graphics defaults, or anything else you want predefined in your workspace.
Only matlabrc is actually invoked by MATLAB at startup. However, matlabrc.m contains the statements:
ifthat invokeexist('startup')==2startup end
startup.m. Extend this process to create additional startup ! Operating system command
exist Check if a variable or file exists
path Control MATLAB's directory search path
quit Terminate MATLAB
